It's a small crime - the real crime is this web-site! These developers were the same ones who thought combining <blink> and <marquee> was a good idea in the '90s.

Not to mention the discrepancy in the first graphic (which clogged up the screen with dropping money bags for 15 seconds):

> Total amount lost by the state due to the tricks: at least €3,100,000,000 (31.8 billion)

So which is it? 3.1 billion or 31.8 billion? It's not a minor difference!

Also, does anyone else have extreme difficulty reading text while an animated gif taking up 1/4th of the screen constantly loops? I usually scroll until the gif is off-screen so that I can continue reading. In this case it's impossible because there are multiple gifs per page so I can't scroll in any direction.

It now says "€31,800,000,000 (31.8 billion)", so presumably the latter.

I thought the 'ka-ching' effect and animations really effective. My sample is small, but people in the office (who are not techies) all found it engaging and actually read the damn thing, and they don't normally read links I forward. Maybe the action keeps them interested? None are German.
